The children loved the array of activities and actually understood the science that each exhibit demonstrated (not just running around pressing buttons.)
The planetarium was a huge success as most of the children had never been before.

Great day out. Was very difficult being around other schools that had either older children, or children who were not being monitored by their teachers. Our school found it very intimidating and were subsequently unable to explore some of the areas. The language from other schools was horrendous.

I think it is only suitable for year 7, but they nay have been there in year 5 or 6. I think we were there a little bit too long. I suggest not running the trip next year for 7 and 8 but just for year 7 or not at all.

A great venue with lot to keep the children occupied. It is all enclosed so you can spot the children easily.

Build in as much free explore time as possible and not to be too prescriptive or try to teach in the interactive areas. The staff at WSC were great in the workshop and the Planetarium and very visible and helpful generally.

The planetarium was great and the exhibits are really interactive. However, I think the science learning and the amount of information linked to the exhibits is beyond a Year 2 level.
February 2022 - Primary School
It was a wonderful trip the children were fully engaged and could apply their classroom knowledge to extend the experience. The planetarium show and classroom activity were educational and interactive. It was very well organised and the communication given by the science centre was clear and informative. We would highly recommend this trip in future. The rocket workshop was interactive and engaging however could be made more exciting if the rockets flew further.
January 2022 - Primary School
Really enjoyable and successful trip - help to spark the imagination of many of the children.

I believe the workshop should have had more resources so that the children per group was less. More time for children to improve their rockets on formation they had gained from other tests would have improved problem solving aspect.

The outcomes were meant by all pupils on trip. All were able to identify or link most of the exhibits to the use of forces. While most were able to understand the uses of forces in the real world. While some of the pupils were able to understand the effect of the forces on their activities.

The planetarium was engaging and the children thoroughly enjoyed sitting back and watching the planets and stars go by. They learnt about different constellations and the stories behind them. They also learnt about stars and planets.
The new explorer zone was very informative and gave the children a hands on experience which was space related.
The rocket workshop which we booked was super as it made the children think about how rockets are boosted into space using a chemical reaction. They were also able to have a go at building rockets as groups.
The whole trip was a pleasure, the theme of Space engaged the children as the trip reiterated their previous learning and extended their thinking further.
October 2018 - Secondary School
Engaging activities were available that the students enjoyed interacting with. The planetarium show was enjoyed by all students. They would highly recommend it to other students.
